In 2020 you will have many voting options

Traditional polling places will be replaced with fully accessible vote centers

That will be conveniently located throughout the county

You will no longer be limited to voting at an assigned polling location on Election Day

You may vote at any vote center near your home work or favorite park

And voting will begin 10 days before Election Day

Let us review some of your options

Prepare in advance by using the new interactive sample ballot

or remote accessible vote-by-mail

These options will allow you to independently access and digitally mark your sample ballot

using your personal computer tablet or mobile phone

The interactive sample ballot is an easy-to-use web app which guides you through marking your votes

and creating a poll pass you will print or download and take with you to any Vote Center

Remote accessible vote-by-mail will guide you through a similar process

However you will need to print your selections and return them in your assigned return envelope

Both options provide an independent and secure voting experience

Once you've arrived at a Vote Center on of our vote center staff will check you in using an electronic poll book

If needed they can update your voter registration right then and there

And give you the appropriate ballot

After check-in staff will guide you to one of the secure new

ballot marking devices where you may choose to go through every contest on your ballot

or scan your poll pass to transfer your previously marked selections

The new ballot marking device is wide enough to accommodate assistive mobility devices

And includes an audio ballot

An adjustable touchscreen

And a tactile keypad to make voting faster and more accessible

A recessed paper path indicates where to insert the ballot and can be detected through touch

On the left is an audio jack if you wish to use your own audio device instead of the ones provided

And on the right is a dual switch or AV switch for use with compatible assistive technologies

To begin the voting process touch the circle on the screen or press any button on the keypad

Continue following the instructions on the screen or listen for instructions

The ballot marking device will prompt you to select the language you would like to see or hear throughout the voting process

If a language other than English is selected

You will be able to switch between the selected language and English at any point while voting

You will then be prompted to load your ballot and proceed to make your selections

During voting you will have the option to move back and forth

between contests as shown by the back, skip and next buttons

The settings button will provide options to adjust the text size and screen contrast for easy viewing

Or adjust the audio volume and speech rate

There is also a help button to assist voters who have questions during the voting process

If you're using a poll pass scan it to transfer your selection on to the ballot marking device

Review your selections and make any changes

When you are satisfied with your selection you may print and cast your

paper ballot by selecting cast now on the touch screen

The ballot marking device will then automatically deposit your paper ballot into the integrated

ballot box that is attached to the back

Vote Center staff will be available for voters requiring assistance

And to issue your 'I Voted' sticker

If you are unable to visit a vote center you still have the option of voting using the newly redesigned vote-by-mail ballot
